Franklin Audio DI-20 Stereo Passive Direct Box

No hum, no headache, no tone shift — just a bulletproof stereo DI that gets out of the way. The Franklin Audio DI-20 stereo passive direct box features dual custom-wound transformers for full-band frequency response and perfect isolation, high input impedance that feels natural to play through, and a low-profile enclosure that fits anywhere without demanding attention. The result is a DI that takes stereo keyboards, synths, and effects straight into mic preamps with zero noise and zero colouration—simple, reliable, and built to outlast everything else on your desk.

The DI-20 features two TS inputs for sources like synths, keyboards, drum machines, guitars and basses. DI balanced XLR outputs send audio to your interface or preferred mic preamp chain. Throughs produce untouched copies of your original input signals for use in parallel processing, or sending to amps.

Connect your guitar, bass, synth or drum machine to the DI-20 inputs using a standard instrument cable. The high input impedance input preserves your tone and playing feel. Run balanced XLR cables from the DI-20 outputs to your mic preamp or interface. The custom transformers convert your signal cleanly with zero added noise or tone shift. That's it. The DI-20 gets out of the way and lets your instrument sound like itself—just cleaner, quieter, and ready for any preamp or processing you throw at it.
